Chapter 58: Preemptive Strike
Chapter 58: Preemptive Strike
"You are Lin Wuji? I have remembered you!" Mo Ling'er on the left suddenly turned her head and said to Mo Xiu.
"Have remembered me?" Mo Xiu glanced at Mo Ling'er.
"Don't worry, I won't use any conspiracy against you, but this time, I will definitely get a higher score than you!" Mo Ling'er said full of fighting spirit.
Mo Xiu looked at Mo Ling'er a few more times before nodding, "I'll wait and see."
Originally, he thought that Mo Ling'er ran to his side because she wanted to interfere with him by some tricks, but now it seemed not.
It seemed that Mo Ling'er was treating him as the only threat, so she stared at him intently next to him.
The woman in red also said that as long as the contestants could make five kinds of medicine, they would pass the second round of assessment, but if they wanted to get a high score, making five kinds of medicine was definitely not enough.
On the one hand, it depended on the quality of the medicine, and on the other hand, it probably depended on the type of medicine made.
For example, a person who made all ten kinds of medicines and had a super strong effect would definitely get a very high score. If only five kinds of medicines were made and the effect was very weak, then even if they could pass the second round of assessment, the scores obtained were estimated to be minimal.
According to Mo Xiu's speculation, Mo Ling'er probably wanted to surpass him by increasing the number of medicines that he was going to make.
If he brewed five kinds of medicine, Mo Ling'er would definitely try to brew six kinds of medicine. If he brewed ten kinds of medicine, Mo Ling'er would certainly brew ten kinds of medicine, and the quality of each medicine would be very high.
Of course, this was only Mo Ling'er's thoughts he had speculated. In any case, such thoughts were unrealistic. It was not that Mo Xiu looked down on the other party, but it was the reality that Mo Ling'er was too bad at this profession compared to him.
After learning about Mo Ling'er' thoughts, Mo Xiu looked at the man on the right again.
Although this person didn't say anything, he would definitely interfere with Mo Xiu's medicine making process.
The reason why Mo Xiu was so affirmed was that his Divine Consciousness had long captured Mu Qingqing's contact with this person.
Before the second round of assessment started, Mu Qingqing secretly found this person and conspired with this person to interfere with Mo Xiu during the second round of assessment, so that Mo Xiu could not pass the second round of assessment.
As for why Mu Qingqing didn't do it herself... the reason was simple. No matter what, this was also the assessment organized by the Alchemy League. As the daughter of the owner of the Mountain and River Medical Center, unless she didn't want to deal with the Alchemy League in her entire life, she would definitely not mess around on this occasion.
Finding someone to interfere with Mo Xiu was the simplest and most direct way. Anyway, as long as the benefits given were large enough, someone would definitely be willing to do it.
Mu Qingqing's contact with this person was still very secretive. In the eyes of these two people, not to mention Mo Xiu would not know, even those of Alchemy League would definitely not find it.
But how powerful was Mo Xiu's Divine Consciousness needed not to be said.
Originally, in Mo Xiu's eyes, Mu Qingqing and her like were nothing more than chickens and dogs, so there was no need to put her in his eye, but since Mu Qingqing did this, if he was still indifferent, then he would be too forgiving as a Demon King.
The person sitting to the right of Mo Xiu swiftly felt a little guilty when he saw Mo Xiu staring over.
But soon he cheered up again, glared at Mo Xiu, and said viciously, "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will dig out your eyeballs!"
Mo Xiu was full of disdain, "Only you?"
Probably suppressed by Mo Xiu's aura, the man couldn't help feeling a little angry.
Although he wanted to fight Mo Xiu a bit, he quickly felt the gaze of the woman in red who presided over the assessment, so he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Mo Xiu also looked back.
Holding a lot of medicinal materials in his hand, the assessment had begun, however, he was not in a hurry to make medicine but observed casually.
Let's leave aside the person on his right, for the time being, the others were still very serious about this assessment. Most of them had entered a state of selflessness and concentrated on making medicine.
Mo Ling'er on the left had also started, probably before defeating Mo Xiu, she would ensure that this round of assessment could be passed smoothly, so it was estimated that she would pay attention to Mo Xiu again after six drugs had been prepared.
Mo Xiu paid a little attention to the process of Mo Ling'er's medicine and found that no matter what, this person was indeed the daughter of the Master of the Spirit Medicine Valley. The missing medicinal materials on the prescription had been well found as they were also not random substitutes. Therefore, the boiled medicine might not be worse than the medicine boiled according to the prescription.
The process of boiling the medicine was smooth and flowing, the heat was also well controlled. Many places that should be paid attention to or even hard to be noticed by Mo Ling'er could also be noticed. This was incomparable to the rest of the people who participated in the second round of assessment together.
In just a short time, Mo Ling'er had already prepared the first medicine, and then she was seen pouring the medicine into the special bowl provided in this assessment, quickly putting a ban on it, and sealing it up.
Before brewing the second medicine, Mo Ling'er did not forget to clean the medicine pot, and it was cleaned very well at that. She took care of all the corners as the medicine residue and even the smell was washed away completely. It would not affect the brewing of the second medicine.
Mo Xiu nodded secretly. With this ability, it was absolutely no problem for Mo Ling'er to pass the second round of assessment, so in the next round of assessment, he was likely to meet Mo Ling'er again.
After observing Mo Ling'er, Mo Xiu noticed Mu Qingqing behind him again.
Compared with Mo Ling'er, Mu Qingqing was not so powerful, giving people a feeling of shame.
With only one glance at her, Mo Xiu could make a judgment: Under normal circumstances, Mu Qingqing should also be able to pass this round of assessment, but at most she could only make five medicines, and the effect of each medicine was very weak. Eight out of ten, she would pass with a low score.
"You haven't started taking medicine?" the man on the right suddenly asked Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu turned his eyes back to the person, did not explain but instead asked, "You're anxious?"
"Anxious? I don't know what you are talking about!" the man snorted.
Mo Xiu: "Let me guess what kind of means you will use to interfere with me. In this round of assessment, people who use two medicine pots will have their results canceled and will not be allowed to participate in any tests of the Alchemy League for life. So if you want to interfere with me, the simplest and most direct way is to make my medicine pot unusable or let me use more than two medicine pots."
After a pause, he continued, "As long as you pretend to be careless and break my medicine pot when I am taking medicine, I will definitely not pass the assessment this time. But I haven't started medicine yet, although I am sitting here, I haven't used even a medicine pot. Even if you break the medicine pot in front of me now, I can still find another one. That is not a violation, so you are in a hurry."
After listening to Mo Xiu's analysis, the man felt like he saw a ghost.
Not to mention why Mo Xiu knew that he wanted to interfere with his medicine making process, the analysis of Mo Xiu alone was exactly the same as he thought.
Was it possible that this guy had a mind-reading skill, so he could see through his mind?
He was shocked for a while and soon he laughed, "So what if you guess it right? I'm very idle, so as long as you start medicine, I don't believe you can guard against me!"
Mo Xiu shook his head, "Guard against you? Why should I guard against you? You are waiting for me to start making medicine. But how can you know that I am also waiting for Mu Qingqing to start making medicine too?"
Hearing this, the man was stunned.
Before he could react, there was a sudden tingling in his head, and then his eyes began to fade.
Not fainting, but losing consciousness, and his body was taken over by another consciousness.
Soon, he looked at Mu Qingqing behind Mo Xiu, raised his hand, running the True Energy, and patted Mu Qingqing with a palm.
"What~"
Mu Qingqing exclaimed, she didn't expect anyone to attack.
Although she responded in a timely manner and escaped the palm just right, the medicine pot that was boiling the medicine was unfortunately hit. The whole medicine pot was torn apart with a 'click'.
The sudden noise shocked everyone in the room. Those who were still concentrating on making the medicine just now all raised their heads and looked in the direction of Mu Qingqing.
The woman in red who presided over this round of assessment was also stunned and hurriedly flew over.
"You... what are you doing?!" Mu Qingqing was furious.
How could she know that the one who broke her pot of medicine was the one who had a secret deal with her? But what was going on with this person? He did not Mo Xiu's medicine pot but actually destroy her medicine pot instead? Was this a so-called counter-attack?
The person on the right of Mo Xiu gradually recovered his consciousness after a brief stupor.
Feeling the weird gaze of everyone around him and Mu Qingqing's extremely angry gaze, he was a little dumbfounded and opened his mouth, unable to react for a while.
At this time, the red-clothed woman came to the person, quickly shot, and with a few moves, that person's cultivation base was blocked temporarily.
Then, the red-clothed woman coldly said, "You take the initiative to break someone else's medicine pot, do you not put Alchemy League in your eyes or not put me in your eyes?"
The man was startled, and for a moment he broke out in a cold sweat, his heart almost jumped out, and quickly defended, "It's not me, no, I didn't mean it..."
If it was really unintentional or not so obvious, the woman in red would not be so angry. After all, the rules of the second round of assessment did not say that one couldn't attack or destroy other people's medicines.
But this guy's actions were too obvious, even if the rules didn't say clearly, this kind of behavior was too bold, it was no wonder she was angry and said that this guy didn't put Alchemy League and her in his eyes.
She didn't allow the other party to argue at all, grabbing the other party's collar, she directly pulled him out.
"I am not! I am not! You have wronged me!" the man yelled frantically.
However, his ability to speak was quickly restricted, and the woman in red threw him out of the examination hall without care, and then two people from the Alchemy League ran over and escorted him away.
After that, the woman in red walked back, glanced at the broken medicine pot that Mu Qingqing had used, and shook her head slightly.
Mu Qingqing finally calmed down, took a deep breath, and asked, "Can I change a medicine pot?"
"No, rules are rules," the woman in red did not agree.
Mu Qingqing was stunned for a while as her whole person froze in place.
The woman in red looked at Mo Xiu again. Seeing that Mo Xiu had not started taking medicine, she frowned slightly and reminded, "There is only half of the incense left, cherish the time."
